The support team’s role is to provide relief for staff after hours, during times of illness and for scheduled vacations. This Helm team is comprised of men who would love to oversee sporting activities, organize board game tournaments, play video games, go for hikes, take the guys to the beach, hang out for movie nights or just engage in healthy conversation while we as a staff can’t be here.
WORSHIP

This Helm team helps with finding donated vintage items for resale, caring for our store, managing point of sale (square), tracking inventory, producing items and in store display as well as advertising, social media and merchandise photography. If you are highly creative, have retail experience and or strong customer service skills than this is a fun serving opportunity for you!
